This week it was my mum’s birthday so we decided to take a
nice few days away to bath, (A cheeky mid-week break). Whilst we were there we
stayed at the Hilton hotel which was absolutely gorgeous; the rooms where so
spacious, the staff were amazing and I don’t think I’ve ever had a
better few nights sleep.

One the first day we decided to spend most of our time in
the Thermae Bath Spa in the centre of Bath and then after our relaxing
experiences we took a walk around bath and did bit of shopping. On the second
day we went and visited the fashion museum where we saw a life of fashion which
exhibited dresses from all over the decades included an outfit worn by Princess
Diana herself.

Bath is such a beautiful city with a lot of Georgian history.
If you’re a historical kind of person who would love a weekend away at the spa,
I definitely recommended visiting.

As a spectacle wearer myself, I was pretty ecstatic when
Warby Parker approached me to write a post about their latest collection with
Leith Clark. After a brief sneak peak at the collection and the photography, I
thought it would be such a great piece to feature on my blog and couldn’t say
no!

Warby Parker is an American company in which provides
boutique design glasses around the global. The company started up as an
alternative to the overpriced lens market available today. Warby Parker and
Leith Clark have joined forces to create The Leith Collection. You may recognise
Leith Clark from her styling in Harper Bazaar UK and the editor chief of
biannual magazine Lula.

The Leith collection itself appeals to a quirky yet
alternative business like audience, with the use of frames in the collection. A
retro style theme is present throughout most pieces with the use of a cat eye
frame for the styles WEDNESDAY Noir
and WILLOW Aldabra. Along with the use of vintage retro square
frames AURORA daughter of Pearland MARVA cobalt leaf. (Cobalt leaf is my
favourite from the collection). All of which are available in optical and sun
wear. Click here for links to the eyewear collection and here for the sun wear collection.

I do feel like the style of glasses adopted within the
collection has been slightly over used by various other companies within the UK
market itself. All though, the major selling point for me with this collection is
that: For each pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in
need. I really love that ethos!

A percentage from each sale of the glasses will also go to
Girl Up, a United Nations foundation company in which aims to raise awareness
and funds for UN programmes that provide life-changing opportunities to girls
around the world. http://www.girlup.org

The collection is now available online and from Warby Parker
stores and showrooms.

$145 each / £88.76 GBP
